Glen Huitson 10th Anniversary Memorial Service

TheGlen Huitson Memorial

Day 156

We decide to leave the camper at the CP while we go to the Memorial service for Glen Huitson which will be held at the site where he died 10 years ago at Old Bynoe road about 50km south of Darwin. The service at 9am was attended by more than 150 people including Lisa and children Joe and Ruby and family as well as many friends and members of the NT Police Force. A particularly heartfelt tribute was from a group of aboriginal ladies, who had known Glen and Lisa when they had worked at Daly River. It was a lovely and moving memorial and know that the family would be thrilled that Glen is still remembered so fondly. We went back to the Cp and packed up before driving to the airport to leave our car and home for the past 5 months in the long term car park. The flight to Singapore was only 4 and half hours and when we arrived headed straight for our hotel, Stamford Swissotel which is like being in a palace after living in the camper. We arrange to meet the others for dinner and take them to our fave Singapore cafe and enjoy a Tiger Beer and some delicious Asian cuisine. Not sure if it’s the massage we have later or the 1 and half hour time difference, but I sleep very soundly in the king sized bed which is so huge I don’t see Al all night...........
